About this template
What is this template?
This document is a formal sworn statement required to accompany a Writ Petition in India. It is not the Writ Petition itself, but a verification that the contents of the petition and its annexures are true and accurate.
When should you use it?
Use this when initiating a legal challenge in a High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Use a standard Affidavit of Service if the goal is only to prove a document was delivered to the opposite party.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Paragraph 1 and 2 | Verification of Facts | The Petitioner affirms they are conversant with the facts and specifies which paragraphs are based on personal knowledge versus legal advice. |
| Paragraph 3 | Certification of Annexures | The deponent certifies that Annexures 1 to 10 are true copies of originals after personal comparison. |
| VERIFICATION | Verification and Oath | The deponent verifies on oath that no material facts have been concealed and states the location and date of verification. |
Who it's for
- a petitioner filing a Writ Petition in an Indian High Court to verify factual claims
- a deponent certifying that ten annexures are true copies of original documents
